Nanny

June - August 2019 • Layton, UT

What I liked

I loved getting to know the two kids I nannied and enjoyed spending time creating activities for us all to do to have a fun, successful and happy summer. I loved the laid-back nature of the job and that I was mostly just needed to play with the children and have a good time.

What I wish was different

I wish I would've stuck more to the plan I created in the beginning. We made popsicle sticks with activity ideas on them and I wish we would've utilized those more instead of just finding things to do everyday. I wish I would've been better at planning and finding fun and creative things to do.

Advice

I would say to buy a weekly planner whiteboard and write activities on popsicle sticks. Then, at the beginning of the week, have each child pull out a popsicle stick and plan out the week based off of those activities and your budget. It'll give you and the children something to look forward to, plus it'll be fun to make and plan.
